Just look into John McAfee’s baby blues and tell me he isn’t reliable!

Just look into John McAfee’s eyes and tell me it isn’t true.

Wtf is this fresh digital gobbledygook?

I think you’ll find that everyone is qualified for prison quality healthcare already as long as they’re willing to commit a crime.

I’d be willing to risk it all for the pi.

Batman intensifies.

In my opinion, it is perceived difficulty that keeps people from using it. Most basic users will use the OS that is installed on the computer when it ships and never stray from that. It often takes another Linux user to introduce someone to it before they will use it.

Those concerns you mentioned are basically non existent for a low level user who just wants to do email, internet, and word documents, which covers a decent chunk of home windows users. Not all, of course, but many.

Bro, you’re talking about Arch. No duh it isn’t user friendly—it isn’t designed to be. If you’re going to compare Windows to Linux, the only fair comparison would be to Ubuntu or Linux Mint or something else designed for the people outside of the tech-illuminati.

That makes a bit more sense. I didn’t realize it was being marketed as a professional/enterprise tool.

Lol, not going to lie, the bad dragon example makes sense.

To be totally clear, I really am not intending to throw any shade towards users of the app. My opinion about the price is not a judgment on the users.

I am glad to hear that it at least provides a premium experience. I just hope ads and expensive apps aren’t going to be the future of accessing Lemmy.

It may just be a matter of perspective, but to me, fewer users and content should equal lower price, not higher. I understand what you mean about them not getting an equal amount of money from the user base since there are fewer users, but by that same token, those users are getting less content through the app due to the same reason.

Seems like it balances out where both sides should expect less until things pick up over time.

There is the ad revenue too though. If it is impossible to make a living and work on these apps with either reasonable app pricing or no ads, then why is Sync the only app for Lemmy with these strings attached?

I just don’t understand what makes Sync significantly different or more expensive to produce than every other app available right now.

No shade to anyone who uses Sync, but the egregious thing to me is the price. Sync isn’t making the content, just like Reddit wasn’t, and they’re setting the price at a level that it feels like that’s what you’re paying for.

Any comparison to other software makes this pretty clear. If it were $4.99, I’d say that’s relatively fair, but charging 1/3rd of the cost of a new video game for an app that took less than 1/3rd of the resources to produce seems a bit absurd.

People can spend their money however they want, but I also don’t think it’s completely uncalled for to criticize the company for what appears to be price gouging.

Why is uPnP the worst thing you can do?

I admit, I didn’t, but I thought the movie was so horrible that I couldn’t imagine how the game could possibly be better. Glad to hear they redeemed it a bit.

It’s the Walmart of torrents, and it’s got more LEO than a New York Dunkin Donuts.

You should check out Good Times. I didn’t take him seriously as an actor until I saw that movie, and when I did, I immediately thought he was Oscar quality.

That may be true, but I have had nothing but reliability from mine. Hell, there was one with a broken plastic SATA pin support and bent pins, and that thing still worked and tested fine for 3 more years.

As with all things, results may vary, but if you have a decent backup of your most important files, they are still the best bang for your buck to get a huge amount of storage, imo.

Moving your files back and forth should be no problem, especially if you have a decent router. Local networks are freaky fast these days, and are often only limited by the read/write speed of your disk.
